<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SmugTkachuk</b></div><div>I think I would let Monny center that second line, my ideal I think would be,

Tkachuk - Monahan - Lindholm - Fast hard on the puck couple of great guys for Lindholm to feed
Gaudreau - Backlund - Neal - Backlund shelters Johny's D game, Neal is mean and can police the Johnny situation and both guys set Neal up for more scoring
Bennett - Ryan - Czarnik - Fast line that has some sand paper to it, undersized for sure though
Jankowski - Dube- Frolik - Frolik defensively shelters the 2 young guys, Dube develops a bit of a defensive game for the coming years</div></div>

Yeah that could work. That would be a pretty well balanced lineup.

I just don't think Monahan plays well enough defensively
to play center. Honestly anything different from the status quo would be good.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SamBennet93</b></div><div>so why would calgary carry that cap dump at the expence of a position we desperatly lack in jon gillies who has the potential to become something bigger.
We have a couple of players to take on roslovic role , Foo, Gawdin, Dube,</div></div>

Honestly I don't see Gillies as an NHL goalie in the future. He is too inconsistent and lets in a ton of softies. To me he is going to be another Irving or Ortio. Mason only has 1 year left and cap space should not be an issue this upcoming season.

I think Foo may need a little more seasoning in the minors to start this year and I believe Dube is a couple of years away. Roslovic has more potential than any of those guys you mentioned and adds more size and speed to the Flames lineup.

Sujet: What Peters Wants
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vanderm</b></div><div>Tkachuk on the ice with Gaudreau might keep Tkachuk out of scrums -- the exact opposite of what you've said. He knows Johnny can't go anywhere near them, so maybe this move would have Tkachuk thinking only about production and hockey instead of the extra stuff, a la Marchand.

-------------------------

Like the Ryan and Ward signings, I think they make sense. Ward won't get an offer unless Peters really believes he's the perfect guy, which gives me plenty of confidence.

Absolutely HATE the Vanek signing. No thanks. Everyone's argument is that he's good on the PP...is that it? He's not the player he once was, and I'm not sure there's a cultural fit there. He's well known as a guy who lacks worth ethic. Don't see that aligning with what CGY is trying to build.</div></div>

I agree with everything you have said. Vanek is a wild card but could be a good depth winger but there are a lot of different guys that can fit that role too

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JoeHighschool</b></div><div>Expect Lindholm to cost closer to 5M.</div></div>


<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Vanderm</b></div><div>What comparables are you using? I haven't tried to put together a good grouping yet. He's been right at or slightly above 40 points in his 4 full seasons in CAR. 0.528 points per game over that span.

Off the top of my head, I think $5M is the upper limit for that resume so far, even at a 7-8 year extension. Could see both sides working around the $4M mark on a 5-year deal. But, I have to put a list of comparable players together to understand what makes sense.</div></div>

One comparable is Michael Frolik. Both are real good defensively with the ability to score 40+ points. At the time Frolik signed his deal it was considered a little bit of an overpay. $4.1M is just a ballpark number but I wouldn't be surprised if Treliving signs him for something close to that number.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eberles_Backcheck</b></div><div>Eww I hope Dahlin doesn’t go to Van... :cry
Yea honestly Chia had the most gravy job in the NHL.. can believe how badly he screwed that up.. ugh

Think about it.. if Chiarelli did nothing, he’d have McDavid, Hall, Draisaitl, Nuge, Eberle, maybe not barzal but at least a piece (I heard Erikkson Ek), Nurse, Klefbom, Benning, Puljujarvi, And probably still Yamamoto. I’m sure you could make a package for Karlsson our of these pieces....</div></div>

Haha if that lottery scenario happens I will cry. Yeah if you really think about it, Chiarelli is basically the only reason why EDM is still no good. The thing that drives me crazy is that in his season ending press conference he basically blamed the players and coaches for their awful season. Could you remove yourself more from responsibility? If he stopped selling his $1 parts for 50 cent ones, he would not be in this mess. There is just no accountability on Chiarelli's part, and I'm afraid you Oilers fans will suffer through another disappointing season because he is controlling your roster. It will only get worse if he fires McLellan, who I think is one of the best coaches in the NHL.

From a sympathetic perspective, I feel bad for you guys because you deserve much better.

From my Flames Fan perspective though, Chiarelli is one of my favourite people. He constructed the BOS team that beat VAN for the cup and completely ruined the Oilers by undervaluing his assets. I hope he stays in EDM for as long as possible!

Sujet: Karlsson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eberles_Backcheck</b></div><div>Dobson apparently doesn’t have that offensive upside anyway. Smith is their best bet. I’d like to see them trade up to get Ryan Merkley in the late first round of possible. Ha there’s almost no chance any of these players come close to Karlsson, except Dahlin. The problem with trading for Karlsson is he has to sign an extension for the trade to make sense. Too risky to make the trade without an extension</div></div>

Agreed. An extension is a MUST. This deal may be too tough for EDM to make as they're gonna be in cap hell for the foreseeable future, so going after another good defenceman would probably make more sense. But Chiarelli is the GM so what anything goes. Dahlin would be ideal for EDM but as a Flames fan, I am praying EDM does not win the lottery again.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMTD</b></div><div>As for retaining $1,500,000 that to me is not a big deal if you are giving me 2 really good pieces and 2 good pieces, so YES BUFFALO WOULD DO VERY WELL IN THIS TRADE.
As for Shibbal18, I guess i had enough of his nit picking on posts, if it is a good post in general say so, he will dissect posts until there is nothing left. I try to find a positive and build on it, just as I did with your trade. Maybe I was too rough, but as I said he does it way too often and as you saw will defend his point of view to the end, even painting himself into a corner. I mean if the stars do not mean anything as he said, then do not give them to rate a site. But thank you for your post and thank you for your comment about my rant. I think if you look at my posts, I try to be helpful not spitful.</div></div>

I too think BUF would get enough in this deal to retain some salary. Maybe not $1.5M but they would probably need to retain some for CGY to do a deal for ROR. I appreciate your feedback as it is very helpful!

Sujet: What The Flames Should Do
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ekpaul87</b></div><div>I would completely agree, and trading him now would be selling way low. But I still think he's better suited to playing on the right side, and I don't think there's space to have Hamilton, Brodie, Hamonic and Andersson all on the right, so someone has to go (far less Stone). Maybe trading Andersson for Daniel Sprong or something like that is the way to go, but even at $3.875 per for Hamonic, that gets super expensive for a third pairing guy. I also think he has pretty high trade value to someone like the Leafs who are paper thin on the right side and a coach like Babcock who loves those gritty vets.</div></div>

I too think Brodie plays better on the right side. However, if you remember when Gio went down in the first playoff year, Brodie played the left side with Engelland and played well there (more evidence he and Gulutzan were not a fit). But I do like him on the right side better. I would do Andersson for Sprong, trading from a position of strength for a much needed RW. The one thing with Hamonic is that he is a character guy, which is something CGY desperately needs. The cap situation isn't too concerning for me since it is going up next year and the Flames top guys are locked in at very good cap hits. For the right offer (i.e. something similar to what we traded to NYI value wise) I would trade Hamonic.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Sabres arent retaining on ROR, but the pieces coming back are fine enough</div></div>
I can see why BUF wouldn't want to retain but if that were the case, either BUF needs to add a 2nd or 3rd round pick OR CGY keeps Mangiapane. Happy to see that you like the foundation of this trade though!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMTD</b></div><div>Five stars my friend!
When I first looked at your proposal, I passed it over.
I went back and looked at the players 2 former 1st round centers (both are currently in the NHL and have performed at least at a 2nd line level), a RHD
Andrew Mangiapane top end may only be a bottom 6 forward
Andersson, R a RHD (hard to find) could easily be
Jankowski and Andersson are 2 of CGY top 3 prospects
YES let's make a deal :cheers</div></div>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ristoeichel</b></div><div>I would do this. It's a great deal for Buffalo.</div></div>
Thanks! I think BUF does very well in this trade. In reality it might be too much for CGY to give but that is what I think it would take to get a deal done and I am glad you agree!

For the record Shibbal18 and GMTD, I don't care what ratings I get. So relax. This is just for fun and I am just happy to see friendly hockey debates. Hopefully your Sabres turn it around next year!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Erude91</b></div><div>Huge overpay for o Reilly... Good player but definitely an over pay.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ekpaul87</b></div><div>Don't like this move much from a Flames perspective. It's a ton to give up for a guy who is essentially the same player as Mikael Backlund. If you look at their scoring rates, play driving, expected goals%, almost everything is identical.

Personally, I think the Flames would be better off to sign or trade for a scoring winger, and hope that Jankowski can still develop into a decent scorer at the NHL level. I wouldn't mind seeing them move Hamonic for a young RW if there's a deal out there. Don't think he has fit very well with the Flames.</div></div>

I agree this is an overpay for ROR but if the Flames were to go after him, that is what I think it would take knowing that other teams will be in on him. It is probably too rich for Treliving but this kind of shakeup is what I think he has to do to send the players a message that last season was unacceptable.

A right-handed scoring winger would be nice and I think it would take something similar to what I gave up for ROR to get 'er done. As for Hamonic, I would give him another year. He never looked comfortable with Brodie so hopefully the new coach will see that and pair him with someone else.

Sujet: Gully Stays
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Michael</b></div><div>Yeah I would agree that the blame shouldn't all fall on Gulutzan. The Flames had some rotten luck ever since this losing streak started and are shooting something like 4% since late February. The team needs more proven finishers for next season. I wouldn't be shocked to see Gully go, but I think they would do alright if they keep him and improve certain areas. Brodie seems to be the guy on the way out and I'd agree with what you said about him.
Edit: Also if we're giving up Rasmus Andersson (top D prospect) to Pittsburgh, I'd rather get their top RW prospect in Daniel Sprong vs a 25 year old RW who has topped out at 38 points.</div></div>

I totally agree with all of your points. Sprong would probably be more attractive to the Flames for sure. My reasoning for acquiring Rust is just because he has won two cups and I think his experience would be valuable in the room. I would definitely do the trade for Sprong though
